The European Space Agency conducted experiments on a twin vehicle to Rosalind Franklin, the vehicle that will fly to Mars as part of the ExoMars 2022 project - the drill managed to reach a depth of 1.7 meters * much deeper than any other Mars rover has ever attempted * in the hope that the fate of Rosalind Franklin will be better than that of the robot Shifriali that crashed as part of the Exo Mars mission in 2016
